Draft — this page is a starting template generated by the engineering team. It must be reviewed and finalised by a UK data-protection / care-sector solicitor before it goes live. Placeholders that look like __LIKE_THIS__ still need filling in.

Our commitment

We want everyone — including service users, carers, and inspectors — to be able to use RegIntel Rota. We aim to meet the WCAG 2.2 AA standard. We acknowledge that we're not fully there yet, and we list known issues below so you know what to expect.

What we've built in

  • Keyboard navigation for the main schedule, audit trail, compliance, and settings views.
  • Dark / light / system theme that follows your OS preference.
  • ARIA labels on icon-only buttons and on the press-and-hold preview popovers.
  • Visible focus rings on interactive elements.
  • Plain-English labels on the audit trail and settings pages — we replaced developer jargon with care-manager wording.
  • Click-and-hold previews instead of hover popovers, so they don't block scrolling.

Known issues we're still working on

  • The schedule's rota timeline relies on visual position; an alternative tabular view is on the roadmap.
  • Some visit blocks truncate text in narrow time slots — text is also exposed via the press-and-hold preview, but a planned fix lets you toggle between compact and roomy density.
  • Drag-to-reassign is mouse-based; a keyboard-only re-assign flow is in design.
  • We have not yet completed an independent WCAG audit. We will publish the report when we have it.

Asking for an accessible alternative

If something blocks you from getting your work done, email accessibility@__DOMAIN__. We'll respond within 5 working days and aim to provide an accessible alternative — for example a CSV export, a printed pack, or a screen-reader walk-through — within 10 working days.

Enforcement

For UK public-sector customers: this statement is prepared in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018. Complaints can be escalated to the Equality and Human Rights Commission via the Equality Advisory and Support Service.
